SPRI-NG-CLASPING L-ooP FOR NECK-WEAR.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 283,284, dated August 14, 1883.

' v 1 Application filed May 9, 1883. (Model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. RosE, of the city of Baltimore, and State of Maryland, have invented certain Improvements in Spring- Glasping Devices for Neck-Wear, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention consists in the combination, with the shield of a scarf, of aneyelet of peculiar shape and construction, and spring-clasping device to prevent the withdrawal of the stud or collar-button after its insertion to and its adjustment withinthe said eyelet, as will hereinafter fully appear.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, Figures I and II are respectively a front and a rear view of the invention. Fig. III is a vertical section of a portion of the same. Fig. IV illustrates a modification in the construction 'of apart of the invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate similar parts in all the views.

A is the shield of the scarf, and C an eyeletriv'eted in the shield, so as to clamp the edges of a slot, a, in the same. The lower portion of the eyelet is of such size as to admit the passage through it of the front portion, 1), of the collar-button c, and the upper portion of the eyelet is only large enough to in close loosely the neck of the said button.

D D are springs, which in Figs. and II are secured by means of a rivet to a plate, E, a

which is fastened to the shield by its ends being passed through it and turned over. By reference to the drawings it will be seen that the springs D are bent insuch shape as to practically separate the slot a into two parts. When, therefore, the button is inserted in the a lower and larger portion of the slot, and carried past the springs into the narrow portion of the same, it'is held therein. Projections d on the plate E serve to prevent undue distension of the springs D. In Fig. IV the springs Witnesses:
